Did I say nitrites of 100 or more are acceptable? Of course they are not. My point is that the level in this persons tank is not the cause of the fishes problems as saltwater fish can tolerate high levels of nitrites, how high depends on the species. You keep going back to a totaly different subject pertaining to filtration and bacteria. Again, that is not what this thread was or is about. Its about why his newly purchased fish dropped dead in one day while his other fish are fine. Once past that initial issue, then yes, the reason why there are detectable nitrites should be addressed, but its not a critical factor within this disscussion, or will I have to repeat myself yet again?
